We are your rapid prototyping resource for product innovation. Digitally advanced manufacturing speeds up prototyping so you get parts in hand within days.
A broad range of colourants available for injection moulding
The material selection process
Do you need a guide for selecting thermoplastic materials? Here you will find expert knowledge about thermoplastics and tips that will make it easier for you to choose a material for your moulded parts.
We partnered with NASA to machine a crowdsourced, generatively designed part that was delivered in only 36 hours so the design could be presented at the PowerSource Global Summit.

Design Cube
Our helpful design aid demonstrates part features that are too thin or too thick, bad bosses, right and wrong ribs, and other considerations to be mindful of while designing parts for injection moulding.
3D metal printing or Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) provides the ability to design parts that can free the designer to explore and create geometries beyond the limits of any other production process. To supplement this process, Protolabs offers a special post-processing of DMLS components to create superior surface finishes and features.
Options:
Production of complex geometries within a short time frame
Precise finishing of the surfaces (e.g. lustre turning)
Compliance with exact tolerances
Extensive selection of threads
Building of sub-assemblies
Typical lead times of 5+ business days
